Tabbouleh
with Edamame and Kumquats

Yield: 6 (1/2-cup) Servings

Traditional tabbouleh, a bulgur wheat-based Middle Eastern salad, most often contains fresh green herbs, tomatoes, onions, olive oil, and lemon juice. This colorful rendition substitutes sweet-tart kumquats for the tomatoes and pumps up the green with shelled soybeans as well as diced cucumber. Place individual servings in butter lettuce cups.
